An MCP server that enables AI assistants to interact with the Hive blockchain
Hive mcp server connects Hive to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. An MCP server that enables AI assistants to interact with the Hive blockchain.
An MCP server that enables AI assistants to interact with the Hive blockchain through the Model Context Protocol.
This server provides a bridge between AI assistants (like Claude) and the Hive blockchain, allowing AI models to:
Once connected, the assistant can call these 14 tools directly:
Prompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this serverTools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverCryptography — The Cryptography tool exposed by this serverget_account_info — Fetches detailed information about a Hive blockchain account including balance, authority, voting power, and other metricsget_post_content — Retrieves a specific Hive blog post identified by author and permlinkget_posts_by_tag — Retrieves Hive posts filtered by a specific tag and sorted by a categoryget_posts_by_user — Retrieves posts authored by or in the feed of a specific Hive userget_account_history — Retrieves transaction history for a Hive account with optional operation type filteringget_chain_properties — The get_chain_properties tool exposed by this serverget_vesting_delegations — Get a list of vesting delegations made by a specific Hive accountvote_on_post — Vote on a Hive post (upvote or downvote) using the configured Hive accountcreate_post — Create a new blog post on the Hive blockchain using the configured accountcreate_comment — Create a comment on an existing Hive post or reply to another commentsend_token — Send HIVE or HBD tokens to another Hive account using the configured accountThe server is distributed via npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 4 environment variables: HIVE_USERNAME, HIVE_POSTING_KEY, HIVE_ACTIVE_KEY, HIVE_MEMO_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Hive sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Prompts, Tools, Cryptography among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
